Rocky’s Nut Brunch

Brigham Young University has a very strict dress code.  Of course, you might see a single ear piercing in each ear on a woman but more than likely no more than that.  And of course, none in men.  You won’t see tattoo’s either and no tank tops bearing midriffs. And you won’t see any of the colorful hair designs or spiked hair that you might see at some other colleges.  But here’s something you might not know.

Male students enrolled at Brigham Young University need a doctor’s note to grow a beard.  Yep, you heard that right.  It’s in the Brigham Young University honor code.  No beards.  Men can have a trimmed mustache – but no beard.  The only exception is for medical reasons and then there is a step by step process to get approved to grow a beard.

Thoughts?

Mickey Mouse

I admit that I’m intrigued with Mickey Mouse. The little magical rodent that wears the white gloves seems to make mommy smile and therefore that makes me happy. I do admit that she goes over board at times. I’m not saying all of the time – but there have been a few times that I’ve had to second guess her decisions.  You’re probably asking yourself what I mean by that statement.  Let me show you a few examples to clarify what I mean.

A good example –

20130806-111423.jpgMommy bought stock in the Walt Disney Company.  This was definitely a great example of something good.  She bought in cheap and it has been religiously going up every since.  She even gets a dividend check every December.  The check is not much by any means but at least she’s getting a check and not paying anything out, right?

She has her stock certificate all nicely bounded and framed.  It’s hanging in her office behind her desk. A lot of people inquire about it and make comments.  No one is shocked because well it’s Disney.

In the frame on the bottom, is a small plaque that daddy had made special.  Can you read it in the picture to the right here?  Sweet huh?

Mom also has a big thing on the Seven Dwarfs.  A little tidbit for you – mom has all Seven Dwarfs here at the Hotel Thompson.  They are about 3.5 feet tall each.

That is definitely a story for another time.  That’s my mommy – Disney crazy.  Of course, daddy just says she is keeping her stock going up in value.

Another good decision –

Mommy went to the store one time and found Mickey Mouse shaped cheese.  Now this is awesome and I agree with it wholeheartedly.  It’s fun to eat.  I prefer to eat the ears first and work my way down.  I know – it’s sick but I like it.  One time, she also found Mickey Mouse shaped hamburger patties.  I bet that was hard for the cows to make huh?  But they were fun too, especially with the little wedges of cheese.  And when she fixed hamburgers with the beef and cheese, she cut her bread with the Mickey Mouse bread cutter.  That was a fun night for dinner.

Now, a bad decision –

20130806-111436.jpg

If you’ve read my blog in the past, you might have heard me mention that mommy has a tattoo.  First of all, you have to know mommy.  She is as straight-laced as they come.  When people find out she has a tat, they are amazed.  Heck, I know I was when I first saw it.  WOW mom – you went all out there huh?

I agree it’s different and does show her love towards the mouse.  Every tattoo has some meaning and hers does as well.  And it’s some place where the normal person would not see it unless mommy wanted them too.

So there you go, good decisions vs bad decisions.  I’m not saying mommy’s tattoo is a bad decision.  It was strictly up to her and I do somewhat find it fascinating.  I think it’s the brilliant colors.  Even though she has had it for years, the color is still so bright.  I was able to snap this picture the other day when she came out of the shower.  It is totally mom.  And with knowing mommy has a tattoo, snorts – there’s not much she can say when I come home with my very own tat. 🙂

Hope you had fun with my posting.  Have you ever made good decisions vs bad decisions?

XOXO – Bacon

Dear Bacon

20130531-230700.jpgDear Bacon,

Summer really stinks.  It’s totally hot and uncomfortable.  All I can do is stand in front of the fan and let the breeze overtake me.  I just have to do something to cool me down.  Signed Flappy

Dear Flappy,

Hey pal, whatever you need to do to keep you cool I say go for it!  Momma is a firm believer in her fan in this hot summer.  Can’t we just skip over that season?  I’m all for it.  Let’s start a petition.  What do you think?

Dear Bacon,

Hubba hubba little man.  I find you so fascinating.  I can’t believe a pig like you is still single.  What do you say we fix that problem?  Signed I Do

Dear I Do Don’t,

Not that I’m totally not appreciative or anything but I’m just not ready to settle down like that.  You’re totally beautiful and I think you will find the perfect pig one day.  Don’t give up my friend.

 

20130531-230800.jpgDear Bacon,

Hey little dude.  We just wanted to show you the next happening thing.  Us pigs are actually getting tattoos.  We think they’re awesome.  What do you think.  Can we put one on you?  Signed Artist

Dear Artist,

HHHMM, I think I’ll pass.  I’m sure the tattoo of MOM in a heart would look really awesome on me.  I just don’t think that I’m a tattoo kind of pig.  But hey, you rock it my friends!

Dear Bacon,

You talk about Mouse Girl the purr thing at the Hotel Thompson a lot of different times.  I just want you to know that I think I’m more spoiled than she is.  My humans actually dress me.  It’s a pain in the rump area but hey it makes them laugh.  You ever think about dressing up Mouse Girl?  Signed Prissy

Dear Prissy,

First off – you look adorable in your little outfit.  Your face doesn’t *look* like you’re enjoying it but hey if the humans are happy, right?  Second off – Mouse Girl is a fussy little character.  She is strictly daddy’s girl and I just don’t see her letting me ‘dress’ her.  I on the other hand let mom dress me up from time to time.  Like you said, it makes the humans happy and smile.  That’s our jobs!

 

Dear Bacon, 20130531-230749.jpg

Have you ever heard of the Red Hat Society?  I’m a member and they have monthly meetings.  I think you need to look it up in your area and do a posting on it.  I think it would be fascinating.  Signed  Fun Times

Dear Fun Times,

I’ll do that!  I’ve heard mom talk about it with her friends.  There’s also purple hats, right?  🙂 See, I do pay attention even though sometimes mom doesn’t think so.  You wear that hat with pride and look forward to a posting in the future my friend.
